fuel cut off
 

1989 civic hatch dx

#1 anyone know which color wire to cut?
#2 if the fuse in the fuse box is 15a then a 15a rocker switch is good enough, yes?

Better to take away ground from the fuel pump that to take power...

good idea...so im guessing that's the all black wire

can't say for sure, you need a Haynes manual, they have wicked badass wiring diagrams in the back!

yea ill borrow my buddies book again...now go read my paint job thread :)

LOL, paint is hard to say bro... depends on condition of it, and how good a job you want. $1000-$3000 is a decent range, $1000 being shitty paint.

damn that's too much

not in general...i meant for my budget

MAACO $500 :D

peeling... 2 months :D

Re: fuel cut off
 

where do u get the switch, and wat is it called?

get a walbro fuel pump

damnit...i have everything i need but i have no clue where to put the f*cking thing!

You mean wiring or the switch... I've seen tons of creative places for the fuel cutoff... each more diff't than the other. That's up to you to get whacky...

so the ground is the best place to cut power to the fuel pump??

YES... you never wanna cause any spark in the fuel pump by cutting off +

You always wanna make sure you flip the switch before the key is in the ignition and on...

Ground is a good place to start, but there are tons of how-tos out there, read a few, see what ppl say.

thats true a spark would not be a fun thing to encounter in the tank

yes i meant the switch...im gonna make the switch on the ground wire and i got a mounting plate for it but i have no idea where to mount the mounting plate heh

Ho yo yo, we can't tell you that! its not much of a safety feature if everyone on TCC knows where you stuck it :p

i said gimme a few ideas...i didnt say id use em :P
